Subject: [PATCH v2 00/10] random: re-group and re-document functions
We previously had massive documentation comments and functions strewn
all about. This attempts to restore sanity by dividing the code into a
few sections:
- Initialization and readiness waiting.
- Fast key erasure RNG.
- Entropy accumulation and extraction.
- Entropy collection.
- Userspace read/write.
- Sysctl.
The result of this ordering and this grouping is only 2 forward
declarations, indicating that this is probably a sensible grouping.
Also, some documentation that was just hopelessly out of date been
removed. We'll later look into re-adding parts of this to the Linux man
pages project.
No functional changes.

random: remove whitespace and reorder includes
random: group initialization wait functions
random: group crng functions
random: group entropy extraction functions

random: group userspace read/write functions
random: group sysctl functions
random: rewrite header introductory comment
